Due to the difference in physical and mental development that children have in this age the ION CLUB instructor will decide together with the parents if all the necessary requirements like age, weight and experiences in other sports are given that the boy or girl will participate successfully in a kids windsurfing course. In case of doubt, little games or exercises on land or on water will indicate whether it makes sense or not.
